Water bears might now have colonized the moon!
- Thread starter Sqrt
- Start date
I always tell my girlfriend that if I become a multi-millionaire, I'll prep for my funeral to involve me being rocket-fired on a collision path with a habitable planet, sending my body alongside plenty of bacteria, seeds and other small lifeforms so that I can seed and terraform the planet using my corpse.
Cool idea, right? She always tells me it sounds idiotic.

Eh? Is there an anime plot in here?
EDIT:
Lol, thanks.
how can they colonize the moon if there's nothing to eat
i know they can hibernate forever but they still need sustenance

Sorry. I meant "This reminds me of the premise of the manga Terra Formars".
They put cockroaches and moss on mars to produce oxygen or something. 500 years later, they find this:
There's a big colony of fat, juicy water bears ripe for the picking
They attract predators to new environments, that's who'll be colonizing the moon and any surrounding planets.
Do you mean predators or Predators™?
(no seriously, like, could this have consequences?)
The plan is to use the Moon as a mining dump. So yeah nothing will likely ever evolve on its surface.

Yes, it was a private and failed attempt to win google's lunar x prize. After they failed they leaned super heavily on that "first Jewish spaceship on the moon" nonsense and got Sheldon Adelson to pay for a space-x launch for this shit.
Netanyahu slapped an Israel Aerospace Industries sticker on it at the end so he can have photo-ops.
It's the dumbest shit ever really.
Water bears are resilient, but not invincible. They're actually pretty delicate little creatures.
Even if some of them survived that crash, on the moons surface, they would just slip into a deathlike stasis state, until water, and/or oxygen are introduced.

How does this work exactly?
Invertebrate 1: Yo, I heard them tardigrades set up shop on the moon
Invertebrate 2: (cocks gun) So let's pull up on them bitches
We're a bit over a decade away from having a permanent presence on the Moon. The mid to late 2020s and 2030s will be the most exciting period for space exploration in humanity's history.
The final test for the Orion space capsule happened last month and it was a success. The launch of the James Webb telescope is also almost finally here. We're in for some exciting times ERA.

I don't see why it wouldn't be as long as counties don't try to steal or destroy property located on the Moon.
Also, Artemis-1 is scheduled to launch next year. It will be an uncrewed launch, but it will approach the Moon and orbit it for 6 days. The next launch, Artemis-2, will be crewed and do the same thing. And Artemis-3 is the big one that will land people on the Moon for the first time since 1972.
wait what, a private entity was allowed to send lifeforms to another world..? what the fuck? since when did we stop caring about contamination? we are not 100% certain that the Moon is lifeless, it's outrageously careless to just randomly send earthly lifeforms there...
the thing crashed too.. jesus
yeah.. not cool. at all.

The Apollo astronauts left their poop up there so Im going to say e coli was the first to colonize the moon.
